The Spears Report

It has been a crazy week for Britney Spears ... but, at long last, "crazy" in a good way. At the start of the week, I was able to be the first person EVER to report that Britney Spears had signed on to appear in the March 24 episode of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother and it was positive mayhem from then on out. Britney then showed up on the FOX Studios lot to prepare for and then film her scenes for the show, which meant that she had to put other obligations on hold in the meantime. Also this week, her new animated music video for her latest single Break the Ice debuted online (albeit to mixed reviews). All in all ... she's had a great week ... and I couldn't be more pleased :) Here are a couple of pretty and new photos of our dear Britney which were shot by photographer Dani Brubaker for OK! magazine:

I can only hope that this positive streak that she is on will continue to move forward and that her life can finally and steadfastly stay on track. Things are looking up for her, I believe that she can keep the ball rolling and keep her life in order. I'm sure it won't be long now before she gets to win back at least some physical custody of her young children. And speaking of, here are a couple really cute pics of her youngest son, Jayden James, who spent part of his week at My Gym with one of his big buddies:

The kid is cute ... you just want to hug him/pinch his cheeks/squeeze him all at once. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be for Britters to be kept from her kids but I'm sure she's learning that she needs to take care of her life first before she can be entrusted with taking care of anyone else. Mark my words, Britney will stay on course and will (hopefully one day soon) win back at least a portion of physical custody of her kids.

In related Spears news, Jamie-Lynn Spears (who is going to be a mama herself later on this year) was surprised at the pump by a few paparazzi with a bouquet of roses as she filled her car with gas in Kentwood, LA this week:

Yeah, there's nothing really spectacular about these pics other than that they involve little preggo JL Spears. I'm actually surprised she would happily accept a gift like this from the paps ... she oftentimes looks annoyed when they are swarming around her taking photos ... I guess it's true that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. It remains to be seen if this peace offering will do much to ingratiate JL to the paps from here on out but I think it's genius that they gave it a shot. [Source]

"Pink is the new Blog: Must Star Hazer -- Why This: Trent Vanegas may run the uproarious gossip roundup from his home outside Detroit, but he doesn't need proximity to make riotous observations about celebs -- often typed directly onto scary paparazzi photos." -- Entertainment Weekly

"Anyone looking for a case study in the convergence of homespun blog culture and market-driven mainstream media need look no further than pinkisthenewblog.com and its creator, Trent Vanegas ... It's Not Just a Blog, It's a Brand" -- The New York Times

"Finest use of Photoshop: Nothing escapes the keen eyes of Pink is the New Blog, which concerns itself with all types of celebrity lambasting, sartorial style included. Arrows point to flashes of errant celebrity panty; the blog's trademark pink stencil lettering announces "CHER COMES TO TOWN" over photos of a raven-haired Lindsay Lohan." -- The Village Voice

"[Pink is the new Blog] offers a hysterical, no-frills treasure trove of photos (enhanced like a football commentator, with arrows and play-by-play markings), gossip and a sweet bank of links directed to stories all over the Web. [The posts are] more like delicious dispatches each day. Vanegas is a concise writer but offers plenty of description to keep things interesting." -- The St. Petersburg Times

"The site has just blown up and a Pink mushroom cloud is expected to replace the smog above Hollywood any day now ... Now everyone who's anyone knows that pink is the new blog." -- URB magazine

"If you don't like having a chuckle at celebrity misfortunes or enjoy a good gossip about Britney's latest blunder, then you might want to refrain from visiting this site. This is our sort of gossip - the piss-taking, ass-shaking stuff that'll keep you coming back for more. A mix of scandal and send-up, hearsay and gossip, rumour and fact." -- NZgirl
